Philip encountered Mathilda near the main staircase. It seemed that Mathilda was looking for him and the moment that she saw him, confusion filled her face
Philip looked straight at her eyes and tried to read her body language to quickly adjust on the situation and adapt
"Is there a problem?"
Mathilda asked with concern because she is seeing Philip's different vibe than before
"Not at all"
Philip answered calmly while looking at Mathilda with serene eyes. He is currently exuding a completely different demeanor that gives Mathilda the shiver
Nonetheless, Mathilda shook it off and fixed her glasses with her hand and gave Philip a professional look
"I was actually looking for you"
"Uh huh..."
Philip answered sloppily because he heard thumping sounds around his ears and in his head. He could also somehow hear heartbeats coming from his chest which severely distracted him
It was because he doesn't feel the heartbeats at all on his body. It was a weird situation that something abnormal is inside his body
It is because of the influence of the Purebloof and the reaction of Pure Mana from his reformed body. The two concepts are adapting or attacking each other to compensate for his body so he won't break down
"Are you sure you're okay?"
Mathilfa asked once again
"I'm fine"
"Well, anyways... I wanted to ask you about that trust exercise?"
"Yeah?"
"Are we still going to do it?"
"Yes, let's go now... At the front yard"
"Alright"
Mathilda walked first down the main staircase and Philjp followed. He walked groggily and his body started to heat up and his eyes started to blur around the edges
Eventually, they arrived at the front yard and Mathilda looked at Philip with concerned but annoyed eyes. She was about to ask him if he's okay once again but she dismissed the idea since she figured that he will answer the same
"So, what is this trust exercise anyway?"
"We fight and see who's stronger. The stronger one is more respectable and the weaker one will follow one request from the stronger one"
Philip explained the rules of the trust exercise while he couldn't think and focus properly at this point. It's almost like he's sleep walking or in autopilot mode
"Oh? Are you actually challenging me? With only your Pain Denial and Emotion Manipulation? You're on!"
Mathilda accepted the trust exercise and her arms and legs transformed into a thicker machine part with boosters and weapon attachments
Mathilda also seemed ecstatic and ignorant that she's going to fight Philip and the odds are against him
When Philip faced against Sai, she had a misunderstanding that Jude and Justine saved him before she arrived at the scene. Also, when she was weakened, she couldn't make out what what happened against the high beings and she never found out after one week
So, Mathilda is entering the trust exercise blindly
"Also, another rule is that we need to be in our full power so it would be fair"
"Fine by me"
Mathilda ignored the fact that Philip added another rule that will greatly benefit her. Although, there is just one thing that's running in his mind
As she flew to the air and erected a barrier around the mansion, her body parts transformed drastically and violently that it made several sophisticated body parts, armaments, created giant gauntlets that reached for at least 50 meters and giant mechanical leg armory, giant wings that number at least six, giant circular wings that spans for at least 100 meters in diameter and rotates while creating hundreds of mounted weapons and blasters across the rings
Tens of tails erected from her back that extended for 200 meters while wriggling and swaying in the air while creating bladed weapons across its surface
Basically, Mathilda became a flying destruction fortress that has tens of thousands of projectile and melee weapons aimed towards Philip
This is Mathilda's trump card and a form that she hides because it can level an entire country with sheer power. It could also defeat Sai, along with half of United States and the mansion. But she is willing to use this form against Philip to prove a point
The one thing that is running in her mind is that Mathilda is aware that Philip has hidden abilities, especially his Sword Potential that she witnessed when Philip fought Alucard and Jude several days ago. If Jude has been saying that Philip is stronger than him, then there's no way that she's stronger than Philip since Jude would always beat Mathilda with one hand
She closed her eyes and her visor clamped down her eyes and all the mechanical parts light up. All the body parts are colored dark blue and toxic purple chrome, except for her organic skin
"Philip... I guess it wouldn't be so bad to have you protect everyone in the mansion"
Mathilda muttered under her voice as she prepared to engage against Philip
All the armaments and weapons prepared to attack Philip and Mathilda leaned forward to approach him when she completely stopped and couldn't do anything after she heard Philip's voice
"Sword Concept: Flash Wave: Gear Break"
From Mathilda's eyes, Philip extended just his index and middle finger towards Mathilda in a pointing gesture and a bright flash filled her vision that she wasn't able to see or hear anything, even with her enhanced vision and hearing
Thousands of light flashes flew towards Mathilda from Philip's area in a streak of light. The streaks of light repeatedly struck all of the mechanical parts around Mathilda that it was destroyed into pieces. The process repeated until Mathilda's body was left aling with her half-torn maid outfit
The flashes of light disappeared and left millions of metallic debris and Mathilda that is falling from the sky
Mathilda opened her eyes and realized what just happened. She slightly smiled and muttered
"I see... If he's this strong, then... I can't wait for the time where he will be able to save everyone"
She closed her eyes and small tears of joy seeped out from her eyes that is being pulled by the wind as she falls down
"Maybe he would also be able to save me"
Mathilda opened her eyes once more and conviction filled her eyes with determination
"This is my final challenge for him. A test of worthiness and power"
Mathilda extended her arms and legs from her body before shouting
"Mega Battle Maid: Original Form: Galactic Buster"
A wave of unknown energy vibrated around Mathilda and reached around the mansion. Of course, everyone felt this strange energy and almost everyone fell unconscious because of the strangness of the energy. Justine was completely knocked out, as well as Alucard since he doesn't have the Pureblood power anymore
Sai woke up from being in the influence of the strange energy and she immediately flew outside the window to watch the happenings
The metal debris vibrated and shot towards Mathilda's body that it covered her entire body. The barrier became thicker and the sky turned mossy green
Green light exploded from her body which covered her transformation. After a few seconds, her Galactic Buster form was revealed for the first time in the world ever since the Old Man met her
Her body was covered with green metal sheen that protruded into pointed sleek edges. The form looked almost alien from the designs of the Earth and the material is from another world
Twelve pointed daggers flew around Mathilda and orbitted around her body until into circled around his back and revolved in a circular manner
"No way..."
Sai muttered after seeing Mathilda's true form. She was plenty surprised because she knows that Mathilda's species became extinct because if their own power yet there was one in this world
"A Peacemaker!"
Philip looked at Mathilda's new form and he wasn't fazed. The edges of his vision became static and he could hear the heartbeats thumping faster and louder. There were no white lines flowing and crawling across his skin
He breathed in and out to unleash the stress in his body. It was then that Mathilda shifted her body forwards and dashed at Philip with a speed faster than sound. She left a shockwave and the twelve flying daggers followed her from behind and aimed at Philip
In an instant, Mathilda reached Philip and a pointed blade aimed in between his eyes and the blade is an inch away from touching him. Philip gazed straight at Mathilda's eyes, behind the mask
The twelve flying daggers were also stopped in the air, a few feet away from Philip. Philip's Sword Concept: Sword Aura: Phalanx Blade is activated at this current time
Shockwaves upon shockwaves was being released from Mathilda's blade being repelled by the Sword Aura
Philip gently raised his right fingers in a sword gesture and slowly placed it above Mathilda's forehead
"Sword Concept: Divider"
A sword slash went through Mathilda's body and she was abruptly pushed back and her form shattered into pieces, including the flying dagger
As she was flying backwards, a mechanical orb full of gears and axles was detached from her body and floated in front of both of them
"Mathilda, you have been saved from your Fate... You, you're forgiven and take good care of Mathilda since she's unstable. I'll be taking your core and I will grant your wish... I will save everyone in the mansion"
Philip looked down on Mathilda's lying body. He then turned around with the floating Gear and Axle Orb above his right hand. He returned to the mansion with his eyes glowing golden
Philip closed his eyes while walking and entered Fate Timeline. He could walk while not looking with his Extreme Self-awareness
He checked Mathilda's white sphere and it then turned golden. He then looked in front of him and saw that the golden line is still there
But the surroundings and the skies changed drastically. From dark skies and starry skies, the surroundings became entirely white and black one-dimensional streaks shot through the skies like Philip is undergoing through a drive in a white abyss that makes the black streaks are debris and particles
"It changed..."
Philip closed his eyes in the Fate Timeline and returned back to the real world, inside his room
Philip looked around his room and place the Gear and Axle Orb on top of the office table, next to the stone suitcase. He saw Justine sleeping on the bed and he sat down on the chair in front of the table and looked at the stome suitcase and the electronics that was bought several days ago
He closed his eyes and thought of the spontaneous decisions that he made in the past few hours
Mostly, he didn't care at all and he's feeling emotionless without even using Emotion Manipulation. His body is tense and his mind is running wild, even his chest started to hurt. He started to become very uncomfortable with his existence to the point that it sends tingles throughout his body
The reason that he quickened the time to release Alucard from his Fate is that he needed to hurry unlocking the Fates of all the residents in the mansion so that he would know what happens next in the Fate Timeline
It was also because he suddenly had the urge to hurry thing up after he woke up earlier, even before he was almost strangled to death by the Sleep Paralysis Demon. He still doesn't know why that happened to him. Maybe he has insecurities that he is currently not aware of
Regarding the Pureblood and Alucard's situation, Philip had several choices whether to kill Alucard and liberate him from his Fate, kill him but take his soul and plant it on a new body so that he could still live on and meet his loved ones, or kill him along with the Pureblood itself
In the end, it was fortunate that Sai came that made the confrontation and she developed feelings for Alucard after he used a Pureblood ability on her when he sucked her blood from her neck
Philip took that chance to amplify Sai's feelings so that she would get close to Alucard and Alucard would become even more hesitant to go
In the end, Philip decided to let Alucard live and let him see his loved ones. He is also looking forward to the development of the two as time goes by since Sai seemed to like Alucard as a person or vampire, the Pureblood power is just a plus
He took the chance to take advantage of Alucard and take the Pureblood power itself
Although, he didn't exactly know why he needed to take the Pureblood, but it was a hunch and he just controlled Fate itself to take the Pureblood to himself, even though he's not a vampire
This caused conflict inside his body which changd his mood swings, body resistance, and Mana reserves
Eventually, he thinks that he will need the Pureblood for himself and not from Alucard. It seems selfish and cocky to him, but that's how everything goes in his belief
As for Mathilda, he purposely forced the Fate Control to know her problem and fixed it on the spot. He used everything like Origin Seeker, Clairvoyance, Eye Vision, and Future Vision to Mathilda to see her trauma and problem
Apparently, Mathilda has two personalities; her human personality and her alien personality. Mathilda's original body is her human side and she was taken advantage of and tortured ever since she was a child until her adulthood
The organization that was experimenting her body with drugs and substances was destroyed by the special military and she was left in the middle of the burning facility
She was about to get burned alive with the molten metal and hot debris when a thin beam of light came crashing down from the night sky and entered the facility down towards the deepest levels. The light hit Mathilda and her human consciousness disappeared
Another consciousness came over Mathilda and she took over her body. From lying on the floor, Mathilda slowly lifted her body until she looked at her hands
Mathilda is currently transformed according to the new consciousness that took ovwr her body. There are green colored metallic spikes grown all over her arms, body, and head
She looked around in utter confusion about the situation she's currently in. Her eyes were green in color and cyber lines flowed from her jaws and shoulders
"Where am I?"
She closed her hands repeatedly until the metallic pieces changed around her body while fire blazed in the surroundings. She was confused when she heard debris being broken from the distance
Until an Old Man came down on the lowest floor where Mathilda currently is. He moved the burning metal and heated concrete with no effort
He looked at Mathilda and his eyes widened and faintly glowed white
"Interesting..."
The Old Man walked closer to Mathilda and extended his right hand
"Come with me, I'll keep you safe"
From Mathilda's heart, she seemed to be full of relief but the new consciousness was still very confused. She grabbed his hand nonetheless and that's where Philip's Origin Seeker ended
With that many clues, he took advantage of her origin and forcefully made it so that the alien consciousness will reveal itself
He was successful that it was too effective. He controlled Mathilda's Fate while he was at it and made it so that her scars and trauma are slowly disappearing from her mind but the important lessons and experience are still lingering to remind her of her hardships to fuel her desires
The alien consciousness on the other hand, Philip decided to give it a purpose of protecting Mathilda herself since the power of the Mega Battle Maid lies solely on the alien consciousness
The Gear and Axle Orb that he took is the power of the alien consciousness that Mathilda has been using an ability and Philip confiscated it for two reasons
One is for the alien consciousness to have a heart to heart talk with Mathilda and two, Philip has plans for upgrading the orb using Mana
Philip opened his eyes and thought of the people that are left that needed saving. He needed to see and talk to Camille eventually, as well as Vanessa. He also needed to train the Natsu siblings about their ability, now that their eldest sister is here, she would be a great help to him. He still needs to figure out Mei'er's problem and Bea is still an enigma. He also wanted to stay away from Kyouko and he'll leave her for last
After a while, he looked back at Justine and saw her sleeping face. He let her be because he knows that she was overwhelmed by the energy exerted by the alien consciousness
He then looked at the stone briefcase and reached for it. After a long time, he finally decided to open it
